Of course he does!
- Secretary for Justice Paul Lam says government can invite more people to Hong Kong to assuage any fears about the city’s legal system
- Lam will visit several Middle East countries next month to strengthen exchange and cooperation between local legal professionals and their counterparts
Hong Kong’s justice minister will visit the Middle East next month but has no plans for now to visit the West to assuage any fears about the city’s legal system, as he cited concerns over personal safety and whether he will be given a fair hearing.
Rather than going abroad on such missions, Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok said the government could invite more people to Hong Kong to understand the situation first-hand, in response to the barrage of attacks the city had received from Western countries over the enactment of its domestic national security law a month ago.
